I think you meant to capitalize Judges and Day because important Nouns are capitalized LOL

Thank you friend this earned a true lol from me. I admit a fondness for logline judge,  like a very strict teacher. I don't always agree with then but dammit if they didn't make me significantly better at loglines

I have been visited by the logline judge! What a special time that was. Here's what I got, and I've put in bold the most pertinent information they had to offer.

    ___________________

WHAT THE JUDGES LIKED ABOUT YOUR STORY - {1610} Congratulations on composing a Logline that fires on all cylinders of the best of them, which are comprised of these three elements:

your Protagonist - a Son,

their Goal - to keep his Inheritance secure,

and

an Impediment to that Goal- having to steal an obscure item from a Gothic Victoria Mansion for his Father.

WHAT THE JUDGES FEEL NEEDS WORK - {1610} Your Logline composition doesn't affect your overall score. I'm just sharing this tip as a bonus extra to up your game in future:

Any words that are Archetypal, or germane to Genre, or significant to your particular Story, are better capitalized, whether in your Logline or in the body of your story.

For example:

"In order to keep his Inheritance secure, a Son is persuaded to search a Gothic Victorian Mansion and steal an Obscure Item his Father desires."

My first sighting was Flash 2019. Ironically, my logline was safe but I did get the capitalize random words advice. 

.  {1610}  ~ 

...and I do recommend that you​ capitalize Archetypal words such as "Seek," "Truth," and "Hearts."

Actually maybe he's taking a page out of Daniel Defoe's book. I'm reading Moll Flanders at the moment, and that's how it's written, with words capitalized in the body of the novel!
